"Cutlets" and "Un-chicken Chunks": Freeze Mori-Nu Silken Lite Tofu (or original Extra Firm Tofu) for at least 48 hours to get a texture similar to that of a light fish filet. Freeze it for several days for a chicken-like texture. Now you can grill, bake, and even barbecue Mori-Nu Silken Tofu.

Freezing Directions:
For best results, slices and cubes should be at least 1/4 inch thick. The longer you freeze the tofu, the better the results are likely to be.
Slice or cube Mori-Nu Silken Lite Tofu (or original Extra Firm Tofu); wrap each slice in plastic and freeze for at least 48 hours. Thaw 1) in the microwave, high for 2-3 minutes OR at 40 percent power for about 4 minutes 2) at room temperature for one hour, or 3) overnight in the refrigerator. Drain and pat dry.

Blending:
One package Mori-Nu Silken Tofu makes 1-1/2 cups of puréed tofu. Purée or blend tofu in a food processor or blender. Use for salad dressings, sauces, and soups.

Baking:
When recipe calls for yogurt, sour cream, or eggs*, use puréed tofu. When recipes call for buttermilk, soymilk, or dairy milk, use the "Baking Blend" instead of straight puréed tofu for best results.
To replace liquid ingredients, use same amount of puréed tofu or "Baking Blend."

*5 Tbsp. of puréed tofu equal one egg.

1  cup water
2  Tbsp. lemon juice or  white vinegar
